All,
I was looking for some advice on how to proceed with the following.
I am currently working with a process engineer who works solely on PDMS and have managed to work out the requirements to get our information from REVIT to a format that suits them. i.e. i.dgn files from REVIT via the Bentley i-model plugin & Navisworks .nwc files for clash detection.
Now we are looking at getting their models into REVIT. I have looked into this and was hoping for some guidance on what the best approach is.
The other options I have are:
Receiving a .dgn file and import that into REVIT as a linked cad file. However, I am having issues with this. No 3D elements are appearing and that is with the visibility graphics all turned on. (could this be because the orignal file was an i.dgn file?)
Receiving a .dwg file and importing this as a mass. However, this is going to be a very complex mass and I have read there can be warning & error messages that take a lot of time to sort out.
There are still issues with the import / export of .ifc files. If it where small project I could work around this however, this project it would be too time consuming verifing all members are rotated correctly etc. so I feel this options should be discarded.
If there is a better way that i do not know then please feel free to advise.
Thanks in advance.
D.
